Damn, that sucks. I want to try this, but I dont have any where near 15GB free. I just got a 1TB ext HDD the other day, but havent started deleting/moving stuff. If I get a chance to try this I'll report back.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I just flashed it, went well. New radio on deck. Its pretty easy in hboot actually. Took less than a minute, boot took about 3. You rename it to PC36IMG.ZIP and have on root of sdcard.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
found the error message in the compile. :). trying again. hopefully this time it will build without error...

Thank u fine sir, and yea that's normal boot up time, if u want to change that annoying white screen I have a thread about a boot screen hack, check my profile:)

I've been with CM since CM 3.xx or so, but I don't think I can take the wifi problems any more. Every since Cyanogen has went to gingerbread, wifi has been very flaky. As in weak signal.

I assumed it was perhaps my phone. But when I flash to sense, it has excellent reception. Now I've decided to root my wife's phone (you wouldn't believe how long it's taken to get her onboard), and I'll be damned if she doesn't get spotty wifi too.

I've attached several pictures. I actually took each with the other phone instead of doing screen shots.

In the first, is my phone with CM stable. The next is her phone with sense (it was actually taken during the GPS fix when I had to flash back to a sense rom to get GPS working....The frggin CODES in the OP are wrong, ##4118513# DOES NOT EQUATE TO ##GPSCLRX#...it took me forever and many different ROM downloads to figure out WTF, but that's a different story).

You can see she has maximum bars, as she should since I was only in the next room from the router. But with CM, I only had a single bar, resulting in sporadic webpage loads.

The last picture is her phone after finally getting CM up and running. As you can see, the phone only has a single bar of coverage, despite being only a room away from the router (i guess two bars if you count the "dot" as a bar). But still, I was only 15 foot away from the router. And no it isn't the router, I have three and they all perform similarly. The one I am on is a brand new "n" router. Plus, everything is fine when on Sense.

I guess I am just trying to get some feedback. This issue has been posted to the bug tracker by myself and others, but I guess it doesn't get too much attention (like the MMS with animation and audio not downloading issue). It probably gets no attention because it doesn't seem to be a problem for some. Trust me, it is.

I love CM, even with all its quirks. But this is frustrating me a great deal.

Does anyone have any meaningful suggestions? Has anyone found a fix? Please don't reply with snide comments (e.g. sorry to see ya go; don't let the door hit you in the ass).
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Pine, bars don't mean anything. See if you can get into one of the test screens that actually show the numeric signal strength. I made some shortcut via activities/settings in adw launcher. I don't have the exact locations right now, but it's in there.

Edit: Actually in cm7, it can also be found under settings/phone info.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Huh? My phone info screen doesn't say anything about wifi signal strength.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I've always thought of wifi being flaky in cm7 as compared to sense but when I say that people just think I'm crazy. Also when I'm holding my phone with me left hand around the bottom left corner the wifi in cm7 goes to 2 bars. When I hold it with my right hand around bottom right corner its 4(full) bars. On a sense rom the wifi signal doesn't fluctuate at all no matter where I hold it. Maybe I'm just crazy; I should make a video to show you all what I mean.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Its all about how aosp roms calculate the strength, I've never really done my homework on it, but I have a feeling its similar to data strength on sense, a lie lol. It might say 4 bars,but unless u check the option to see the actual signal strength,it's only an assumption. I just look back and remember when at&t got busted with the iPhone 4, I have a feeling HTC with sense might be doing the same thing. And once again, I'm talking out my ass, I have no validity here.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
My bad.. I was thinking voice radio signal... Sorry.

The exact path using adw launcher is

acitivities/settings/testing(.testingsettings)

Select the icon, wi-fi information/wi-fi status/refresh stats

Being within 5' of my wrt54g, with the evo on the desk, I get ~ -47 to -51 dbm in the RSSI field. When I hold it in my hand, the number jumps to -55 to -62 . (under cm7)

Edit: In the other corner of the house, though several walls, about 35' away, I get -90 to -95 dbm
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
..maybe they ment..

*About phone /status
[EVO 4G General] pinetreehater:
Yeah, I've seen other posts where people posit the difference is related to reported signal strength. But I am certain there are reception differences.

I looked in the about menu, I think that reported strength is for the cellular network and not wifi. Your post did get me to thinking, though, and I downloaded wifi analyzer from the market. It does report wifi strength. Problem is, my wife just got her phone the way she wants it...after me mucking with it half the day. If I were to go changing her back to sense, I think I'd be shot. Maybe soon I will compare the two. Or I will nand mine and put sense on it....we will see.
[EVO 4G General] PorscheGuy:
WiFi definitely has issues in CM7! I ended up having to get a WiFi Extender in my 1 bedroom apartment just to keep it from dropping connection. My memory could be fuzzy but I recall seeing somewhere that HTC updated the WiFi driver which fixed it for Sense ROMs a long time ago but never released that new version. :(
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
*Ull be amazed that ur body can act as a transmitter.

*Have u ever held ur key fob for ur car up to ur chin and held ur arm up while pressing lock/unlock? Mega distance achieved:), I'm assuming thats the case with the wifi
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Same position, never moved just switched from holding with left hand to right hand. The weird thing about it is, on a sense rom my wifi has way stronger signal and no matter where I hold it its not a big difference. *confused look* I should fire up my sense nandroid and take screenies.

Left hand

Right hand
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Jams, indeed. In my case it appears I was acting more like an insulator rather than an antenna as the signal got attenuated. Anyways, By comparing the actual #'s (or at least perceived), you can get a better idea of the software is scaling the bars differently. I'd say so long as you get decent transmission speeds, the bars don't mean squat.

Btw, if anyone is having issues with 4g and browser pages stalling, try the hosts file I posted in this link. I was using the included hosts with cm7 final, my browsing was terrible, with pages stalling 99% of the time. After applying the old hosts file below, it's all good again.

[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
To those that are having the issue with no vibrations or notification sounds, did you guys wipe everything prior to flashing CM7 final build or the nightlies afterwards?

I was having the same issue and today decided to wipe everything and flash. Now, I'm not having any issues with notifications.
[EVO 4G General] PorscheGuy:
I actually forgot how long the bad WiFi reception issue in CM on the Evo has been going on for. Here's an old post of mine from back in the CM6 thread:

I have read every post in this thread since day one and I can't tell you the number of times I've seen it assumed that this is the issue/solution to the WiFi problem dropping off and coming back. I too have this issue with CM while I don't with a Sense ROM, and I have checked and rechecked my WiFi sleep policy in both Settings and Spare Parts and it has always been set and saved on Never. On top of that I also notice that I have very poor WiFi strength on CM as well. I even went as far as to hack my Cisco E2000 router recently with DD-WRT and boost the power enough so that all of my other devices (including my Nexus S, Galaxy Tab and Chrome OS Notebook) have at least almost full WiFi strength everywhere in my apartment and still my Evo with CM drops to 1 out of 3 "bars" of WiFi strength if I'm not within 15 or 20 feet of the router and I still experience the occasional loss and reconnection of WiFi issue that a lot of people ask about.

Edit: I should also add that my issue of WiFi dropping out and then coming back happens with the screen on while using the phone, not (just) when it's sleeping.

[EVO 4G General] ageesm:
They refer to dates, as in November 19, 2010. The new one is April 08, 2011. AFAIK that is what they stand for, but they don't include the year, which now causes confusion I suppose.

So I went ahead with the newest radio (2.15.00.04.08), just to stay cutting edge, as I wasn't really having any issues, but wow, got stuck in frickin hboot, I tried to reboot the device, but it just kept booting back to hboot, and the only other boot option was to recovery.

[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
Yea, all was fine, and the radio successfully updated in hboot, the only thing I can think is I used the option from the shutdown menu to go to the bootloader, rather than using the power button and volume down buttons, so maybe that had something to do with it, I don't know, and really it was more annoying than scary (well once I saw I could get to AmonRA 2.3), cuz I knew I could just nand or re-flash from there, but it was definitely a wierd experience to say the least...

go to terminal emulator,

fix_permissions

or go to rom manager and hit the fix permissions tab
[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
An option in rom manager or it can be run from terminal emulator, that runs a batch script to reset system user permisions to your file system, sometimes when you flash through roms, your systems permissions can get kinda wacked out, and fix permisions will fix things like force closes and such, as well as setting the appropriate permisions to allow applications to correctly communicate with the system.

[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
When you go thru do you have it set to back up your apps to google?

If so make sure you uncheck that, also make a backup of your apps with Titanium Backup, then if the unchecking option still doesnt allow you to update, do a clean install, and wipe everything 3 times in RECOVERY... Are u using cwm or Amon RA? It might even be a good idea to do a caulkin wipe.

Is it green, if it is, then its 2.3... When you wipe, what are you wiping?

yeah that's the version of gapps that I'm using.

What should I be wiping? There are a lot of options.
[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
Did you already do titanium backup of your apps? Cuz I'm gonna suggest you wipe everything, and also the wipe data/factory reset, and make sure you wipe cache, dalvik, and data/factory reset 3 times to be safe. Also I'm assuming your on a computer, so maybe even try to get another copy of your download.

Download Android Terminal from the Market, and do the USB Fix.
